Chicken Souvlaki Rice Bowls

After today’s recipe, I think I have covered every single Greek-esque food I eat on a regular basis. Living in Tampa, means we’re about a half hour from Tarpon Springs, a city with the highest percentage of Greek Americans in the country. I may not be Greek, but thanks to Tarpon, my standards are h.i.g.h.

But I obviously can’t eat out everyday, so I will often make grilled chicken souvlkai, gyro meatballs, and Greek Salads. Like Italian food I love so much, it’s all about freshness and flavor.

…and homemade tzatziki, because I legit put it on everything. Chicken Souvlaki, is just fancy for grilled chicken – it’s a technique, really. Though at Casa de Crews, I just use a grill pan 🙂

This chicken can be tossed over salad, in a pita, or as is. But my fave way to bulk it up is in a rice bowl (with lemon rice #duh). You could also use quinoa or cauliflower rice. Really the main attraction is the chicken.

I am not kidding when I tell you I love tzatziki, so for added flavor, I will sometimes marinate my chicken in a few tablespoons of homemade tzatziki – and it’s sooooo good; not biased, right?

Everything for these Souvlaki Bowls can be made ahead of time, which makes it easier to inhale enjoy for lunch or dinner.
